shift now

We tried to eat dinner at this cute little Italian place but it was closed on Sundays. Bugger. So then we turned around and went to Curra's for tasty South American food. I had a hibiscus margarita, and it was good.

I also drove Tyler's fancy zippy car around. The clutch is so much tighter than on my Honda, so I kept peeling out and racing down the road. The car just begs to be driven fast. Seriously, it does. I also completely and utterly understand Tyler's road rage, and I think it is due to the car. Who wants to be stuck behind idiots when the shiny reddish car wants to zoom?

Tyler had a brilliant idea that we should play cards at the Draught House where we could have tasty beverages, sit inside and smoke. Sarah joined us and we had a delightful snarky time. I played a couple brilliant hands, going down and out in the seventh round with everyone else still holding. I haven't played a good game of cards in too long.

I like hanging out over here on Tyler's comfortable sofas. I can hear the crickets outside. Well, I can when Melynda and Tyler aren't engaging in fisticuffs over there on the other sofa.

(no subject)

Some days, I just don't want to go back to my ordinary life. I just want to go far away, and somewhere without summer. It's brutally hot this year.

I've spent most of my day sitting on the sofa in Tyler's apartment, watching Firefly, eating watermelon, smoking, making snarky comments, etc. A quiet, lazy day. We almost went bowling but decided to stay inside. Then it took two hours to get pizza.

I should really go home and go to sleep. alas.

Everything still hurts. Every single day.
